LAMP SHADE Filed Jan. 3, 1934 5 Sheets-Sheet 3 Inventor I 5 By Att-omey riarj.zzz?z 1 02? A? I Patented Jan. 1, 1935 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 1 Claim.

The present invention relates to a lamp shade and has for its prime object to provide means whereby the shade may 'be adjusted for varying or regulating the light. 7 v Another important object of the. invention resides in the provision of a lamp shade of this nature which is simple in its construction, inexpensive to manufacture, easy to manipulate, thoroughly efilcient and reliable in use and otherwise well adapted to the purpose for which it is designed.

With the above and numerous other objects in view as will appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts as will hereinafter be more fully described and claimed.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a vertical diametric section through go the lamp shade.

, Figure 2 is a bottom plan view thereof,

Figure 3 is a horizontal section therethrough taken substantially. on the line 3-3 of Figure 1.

Figure 4 is a detail section taken substantially on the line 4-4 of Figure 1.

Figure 5 is an enlarged detail section taken substantially on the line 55 of Figure 1.

Figure 6 is a perspective view of the inner shade wall.

Figure 7 is a top plan view showing the outer shade wall and the bridge piece, and

Figure 8 is a fragmentary plan view of oneof the rings.

Referring to the drawings in detail it will be seen that numeral 5 denotes an outer annular wall of a frustro-conical formation. Numerals 6 and 7 denote the two segments forming the in- 45 wall segments 6 and 7 so that they may be revolved to be disposed opposite each other or adjacent each other depending upon the amount of light desired-to be emitted through the shade on either side thereof. The rings 8 and 9 are provided with slots 10 through which project handles-or knobs 11 on the upper and lower edges of the segments 6 and 7. These handles or knobs limit the movement of the segments 6 and 7 and also provide convenient means to. manually shift these segments as desired. Nu-- v mera'l' 12 .denotes generally a bridge piece across the top 'of the shade whichwill be used in the usual manner for supporting the shade on a lamp stand or the like.

It is thought that the construction.operation,-, utility and advantages of this invention will now be clearly understood without a more, detailed,

description thereof.

The presentv embodiment of the invention has.

been described in considerable detail merely for the purposes of exemplification since in actual practice 'it attains the features of advantage enumerated asdesirable in the statement of the invention and the above description.

It will be apparent that changes in the details of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing fromthe spirit or scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed'orsacrificing any of its advantages.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is: r

A lamp shade, comprising a channeled ring having its channel part lowermost, a cross bar having its ends connected to thering, a second channeled ring with its channelpart uppermost, a shade member having its ends fitting in the channel parts of the rings, a pair of substantial-. 1y semi-circular. shade members having their ends fitting in the channel parts of the rings, the upper ring having arcuate-shaped slots therein, and a pin passing through each slot and having its lower'end connected with a semicircular shade member.
